In reply to:

Why?

Being one of those unfortunates consigned by dint of circumstance to reside in an area where the only bovines around are things like Herefords, Angus, Friesians etc, and since their owners take a dim view of me using them for target practice, I have by nessessity taken to persueing other creatures to hone my skills.

Perhaps I am just old fashioned, but I do believe in dispatching them with a minimum of fuss. Besides, they usually have a few mates, and being a reluctant reloader, I find it much more satisfactory to turn my attention to them, rather than wasting the output of my reloading bench on putting down cripples.

Now, Mr Woodleigh's excellent 215 grain .303 pills at 2000 fps in my dainty little double do an excellent job on many critters, but I'm afraid are pretty hopeless on the Giant Grasshoppers we have in abundance around my way. Since I am rather partial do this little piece (I do like to take it out for a stroll every so often), I hit upon this ruse of feeding it with Mr Taipans .311" 124 grain Hollow Points.

This turned out to be an excellent strategy - having similar effect to that of a bolt of lightning! This gives me more opportunity to get on with the important business of wholesale killing!(a "bomb-up" if you will!)

Besides, there IS something curiously satisifying about connecting in mid-hop, and seeing them drop, STONE DEAD!

So that's why.....it's even MORE fun!
